The irony

[eggsarascal]

Go to visit a shipwreck and end up in a shipwreck. I used to work with an ex submariner, not a job I'd fancy. It's all very sad, I'm just not sure why anyone would want to go and visit such a tragedy in such a dangerous environment. Going to old battlefields and the like a can see, but gawd knows how deep in the Atlantic., I'll give it a miss.

It’s a bit extreme. I guess when you can literally buy anything in the world you want life probably gets a little bit boring and not much of a challenge

I was just wondering how their family will feel when tourists start arriving to gawp at their demise.

I think its pretty sick to be discussing irony and not very respectful for those involved.  This was a horrific way to die and a nightmare for friends and family. Just leave it as a horrible tragedy.

Actually, it could not have been a more humane way to die. Instantaneous and most likely without warning.

 

And lets not pretend they where not down there taking holiday snaps of an actual grave of people who did in fact die in a horrific way and was a nightmare for those involved and still a sore point for the surviving family members who have to watch as this and potentially other companies turn the grave into a Disney attraction for Billionaires for cold hard cash. 

 

So please understand when I ask you to take your faux indignance and shove it where the sun dont shine.

Are we talking about the Titan, or the Titanic?

I want to go and see both.

It's a funny old world. An outpouring of grief for some billianaires spending hundreds of thousands to go on a jolly in an uncertified vessel, and yet some people seem almost happy when a boat full of people seeking asylum is 

lost.
